In this episode, we dive into the complex and surreal fine line between chaos and order. Are supernatural phenomena simply mathematical probability? As we wander through the landscape of synchronicity, manifestation, and morphic resonance, I explore how thoughts seem to manifest in the outside world. Is this phenomenon just psychological, or do we see it in chaotic systems like the bifurcation diagram?Join me as I reflect on the curious intersections between belief, reality, and comedy. Is it all just a cosmic joke, or is there a deeper pattern at play?

In this episode, I recount my time in a psychiatric hospital and my ongoing journey back to “normal life, and to the stand-up comedy stage. We explore the labyrinth of the mind—an unknown land with shadowy corners, reminiscent of Africa's uncharted jungles in past centuries. With musings from Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, and Shakespeare, we reflect on mental health, identity, and the creative spark that comes from walking through the darkness. Whether wrestling with old demons or finding new meaning, I navigate it all—through laughter, fear, and the electric hum of self-discovery.Welcome to my world.

A reading of an essay written by Dr Jack De Havas, a neuroscientist studying how the brain controls movement.Two ideas ascendant in the culture are making us question the nature of reality. The ManyWorlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics posits that alternate dimensions exist, while the Simulation Argument states that probabilistically we are currently living in a simulation. On the surface these two ideas are not linked. They spring from different fields of science and philosophy and are not formerly connected. These psychological effects carry a hidden cost, which is best revealed through an analysis of how the MWI and Simulation hypothesis are dealt with in fiction.Music: Meridian - National Sweetheart

Join me on a wild adventure through Spain's La Tomatina, the world's most chaotic tomato fight! In this video, I recount my experience of diving into the madness, where thousands of strangers come together to forget about life’s troubles in a sea of red pulp.

I also reflect on how this primal experience connects to deeper themes of memory, self-discovery, and the search for meaning.
